Worker Health and Safety

Suppliers must provide all their workers with a safe and healthy work environment and
comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding working conditions including, but
not limited to:
• Access to potable drinking water, emergency medical care and first aid kits
• Appropriate personal protective equipment, available at no cost to all applicable employees
• Instruction in and enforcement of proper use of protective equipment
• Appropriate safety training for the use of machinery and other equipment, and the handling of chemicals
• Proper labeling of machinery, hazardous materials and other potentially dangerous items
• Worker housing, where provided, meets the same standards for health and safety as the workplace
• Adequate lighting, ventilation, heating and clean toilet facilities in all work areas
• Doors and other exits are well marked, unobstructed and unlocked from the inside during all
working hours for orderly evacuation in case of fire or other emergencies
• All main exit doors allow workers to clear the building
• Evacuation drills are conducted at least annually
• Maintain written standards for a safe and healthy work environment and the prevention of
accidents and injuries to workers

Suppliers will not employ any persons under the age of 15. Exceptions to this apply only to
family or small-scale businesses which do not regularly employ hired workers. If local regulations stipulate compulsory
education up to an age greater than 15, those regulations will apply during school hours. Suppliers must observe all legal
requirements for the work of minors (age 15 to 17), including, but not limited to, those pertaining to age, hours of work,
wages, minimum education and working conditions. We encourage suppliers to support education and work-study
programs, and to encourage all workers to participate.
Arizona Tile will not tolerate the use of any forced or involuntary labor, either directly or
indirectly, by our suppliers, contractors or subcontractors. This includes the use of slave
labor, bonded labor, indentured labor or involuntary convict labor. Workers cannot be required to surrender their
identity papers or other original personal documents or pay deposits as a condition of employment. Workers must be
free to leave the workplace at the end of their shift and to resign without repercussion. All overtime should be voluntary
and should not be in excess of legal limits.

Environmental Protection
Arizona Tile acknowledges that an essential component of our environmental mission is to
buy, sell, and use environmentally friendly products. At a minimum, Arizona Tile suppliers
must fully comply with all local environmental laws and regulations and shall conduct their
operations in a way that conserves natural resources. All waste materials and production byproducts must be disposed
of legally and in an environmentally responsible manner. Suppliers must establish and demonstrate safety practices and
standards for the identification and handling of hazardous waste.
Environmental Permits and Reporting. All required environmental permits (e.g. discharge
monitoring) and registrations are to be obtained, maintained and kept current and their operational and reporting
requirements are to be followed.
Pollution Prevention and Resource Reduction. Waste of all types, including water and energy,
are to be reduced or eliminated at the source or by practices such as modifying production,
maintenance and facility processes, materials substitution, conservation, recycling and re-using
materials. Written waste prevention, waste reduction, recycling, energy conservation and
greenhouse gas mitigation policies shall be in place, along with demonstrable evidence of
implementation.
Hazardous Substances. Chemical and other materials posing a hazard if released to the
environment are to be identified and managed to ensure their safe handling, movement, storage, recycling or reuse and
disposal. Records of hazardous materials disposition shall be maintained.
Written policies for the minimization of hazardous materials shall be maintained.
Wastewater and Solid Waste. Wastewater and solid waste generated from operations, industrial processes and
sanitation facilities are to be monitored, controlled and treated as required prior to discharge or disposal. Records of
effluent monitoring shall be retained for comparison to permitted discharge levels. Written plans to minimize water use
in all operations shall be implemented.
Air Emissions. Air emissions of volatile organic chemicals, aerosols, corrosives, particulates,
ozone depleting chemicals and combustion by-products generated from operations are to be
characterized, monitored, controlled and treated as required prior to discharge. Records of air
monitoring shall be retained for comparison to permitted emission levels.
Product Content Restrictions. Participants are to adhere to all applicable laws and regulations
regarding prohibition or restriction of specific substances including labeling laws (for both source and end market
countries) and regulations for recycling and disposal.

Compliance and Corrective Action

Arizona Tile requires that an officer or senior management representative from the Supplier sign an agreement pledging
compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct and any related Supplier Social Responsibility Standards. If it is
determined that a supplier is operating outside of these Standards, the supplier will work with Arizona Tile or its
designated third party to develop and implement a corrective action plan, including a mutually agreed schedule for
resolution of the issues.
Failure to meet a corrective action plan commitment will be considered a material breach of
our agreement and may result in cancellation of current orders and/or termination of our
contractual relationship. Gross violations or illegal activities will be cause for outright and
immediate termination of our contractual and business relationship.
